Times tables: see them, hide them, learn them.
Type any number to see its table. Switch on self-test to hide the answers, say each one aloud, then tap to check. Then try a timed round in the mental maths practice.
Tricks that make tables easier
- The 2s, 4s and 8s are doubling. Double for the 2s, double again for the 4s, and again for the 8s.
- The 5s always end in 5 or 0. Multiply by 10, then halve.
- The 9s: the digits of every answer add up to 9 (9 × 7 = 63, and 6 + 3 = 9). Another trick: hold up ten fingers and fold down the finger you are multiplying by.
- The 11s up to 9 are just the digit twice: 11 × 4 = 44.
- Commutative: 6 × 8 and 8 × 6 give the same answer, so there are only about half as many facts to learn as it seems.
A simple learning routine
Read one table aloud, hide the answers, then say each one before you reveal it. Repeat the same table for three days, then move on and revisit old ones weekly. When the answers come without counting, try the timed practice with the multiplication topic.
FAQ
Common questions
What is the best way to learn times tables?
Short daily practice, saying the facts aloud, and spotting patterns. Learn the easy tables first (2, 5, 10), then the 3s, 4s and 9s, then the tricky 6, 7 and 8.
Which times tables are hardest?
For most children it is the 6s, 7s and 8s, especially 6 × 7, 6 × 8, 7 × 8 and 7 × 7. Give those extra practice with self-test mode.
How far should a child know their tables?
Most Indian schools expect tables up to 10 in the early primary years and up to 20 by middle school. Many families also learn up to 30 for faster mental maths.
